Hope the weekend was swell.

Here is some Monday morning reading.

Former Kitchener Rangers forward Jimmy Soper was picked by teammates to be the captain of the Truro Bearcats in the Maritime Hockey League. The Waterloo native played 50 games for the Rangers in 2013-14.

Another shutout for Rangers goalie Luke Opilka, this time with the St. Louis Blues rookies in Traverse City. Dmitrii Sergeev also chipped in with the Blues' freshmen last week.

And while we're checking on goalies, how about ex-Ranger Jake Paterson, who's turning heads with Detroit.

Winger Mason Kohn got some love from the Florida Sun Sentinel while attending camp with the NHL's Panthers.

And the OHL has done its preview of the Rangers for the upcoming season. GM Murray Hiebert says the club is going to attack via committee this season.

"Competition for jobs is going to be huge," said Hiebert, in the story. "It's a year of optimism certainly in terms of our forward group. It's not superstar laden but I think we have depth all the way through and all of our lines should be capable of posing a threat to the opposition."
